There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

Scrap my car in Eastleigh FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid in Eastleigh for a scrap car is £195, but that will have no bearing on what you will receive. Your quote is based on several factors, including your vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal. Scrap car prices can move daily, and you can get your price in under 30 seconds before booking collection.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Eastleigh. If you nominate someone else, they must be over 18 and able to hand over all necessary paperwork.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. Photo ID, proof of address, and supporting records such as MOT certificates or service history can help prove ownership, although checks may take slightly longer before collection and processing can go ahead.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment for your scrap car is made by bank transfer, not cash, as per the guidance set out in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions when the vehicle matches the details you provided.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

There is no need to contact the DVLA, as Car.co.uk automatically handles the DVLA notification when the Certificate of Destruction is processed.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Eastleigh?
Dropdown Icon

You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Eastleigh, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, you can still usually proceed with alternative paperwork, and we'll guide you through what to provide so the vehicle can be processed compliantly.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so speak to them before booking, and we'll explain the next steps once you have confirmation.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you must show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, with your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise before booking.
